Progs teaching kindergarteners about transgender issues

That she and her fellow classmates weren't going to be merely teachers, but that they were assuming a co-parenting role. Now how freaking scary is that? And I've seen this in action. They believe they are co-parenting.

Well I taught for 10 years and I understand this point of view a bit. One of the big problems in schools today is that many parents are not doing any parenting. Thus, the teacher becomes the primary authority figure because the parents themselves are not taking care of their responsibilities and teaching their kids accountability, moral behavior, etc. In some cases, the teacher must parent because there is no one else to do it. This creates major problems when a teacher runs into parents that actually do take their responsibilities seriously, but from my experience I think people would be shocked to learn just how many parents are happy to leave it to the teacher because it just makes their own lives easier.

I understand where you are coming from and I do admire many teachers. It's the system and how it has morphed education into becoming a social engineering project on a grand scale that I detest.

Here's one of my favorite examples of "co-parenting" going horribly wrong because in this case the school worked with the state and not the parents. And the arrogance of the administrators is glaring as well as breath taking on how this situation was handled.

It was called "gun gate" up here and it raised more than a few hackles.

"A father is demanding answers from police after he was arrested because his four-year-old daughter drew a picture of a handgun in class.

Jessie Sansone, 26, arrived to Forest Hills public school in Waterloo, Ontario to pick up his daughter, Neaveh, when he was hauled to a station and strip-searched.

No charges were filed, however, a voluntary search of the family home uncovered no more than a plastic toy gun."

All of this happened because of his daughter's imagination and fib she told the teacher.

''That’s my daddy’s. He uses it to shoot bad guys and monsters,' she was quoted as saying. "

Oh and not only was Daddy arrested........

"Mr Sansone told the website he was called into the principal's office when he arrived to pick up Neaveh and her two siblings last Wednesday.

Three officers were present, and he was handcuffed and taken into custody for possession of a firearm.

His wife, Stephanie Squires, who was waiting at home with their 15-month-old baby, was made to come in to the police station while the children were taken in for interviews at Family and Children's Services, The Record reports. "

Toy gun. Just a toy gun was found in the home. No one even told the father that his daughter had drawn a gun in class until he was being released and that was the reason for his arrest.

Americans being arrested because their child draws a picture of a gun in school is what the LibDems have in store for us. This is an outrage and Canadians should be up in arms -- literally.

No question it gets out of hand sometimes. The OP is a very good example of this. In my professional opinion the teacher had no business whatsoever reading that book to a kindergarten class. The example you cite doesn't shock me a bit. The whole system has gotten quite irrational. I taught at the college level so it was rare that I ever dealt directly with parents, but when I did it was an experience I can tell you. I can give you two examples of how fucked up things are.

First, on day one of my class I got to the point where I had to make the statement "Your tuition did not buy you an education. Your tuition bought you the opportunity to become educated." I started saying this because of the frequency that students argued that since they paid their tuition they deserved an A in my class whether they did their homework or not.

Second, my step-daughter was getting bullied by another child at school. After dealing with the administration for a while, the school counselor finally admitted they were not willing to take action because the bully was the child of illegal immigrants and if they took disciplinary action they risked a lawsuit. Their solution was to buy a ton of small packets of M&Ms and give the kid a packet every day he didn't hit my step-daughter. It didn't take long until the kid started bullying my neighbor's son and eventually demanded two packets a day...one for not bullying my step-daughter and one for not bullying my neighbor's son. They just taught the kid how to run a shakedown operation. Brilliant, huh?

God bless the LibDems in control of our kids at school.

It's a book. Calm down. I know this is hard for your small brain to understand but there are different people in the world.

And guess what? That's okay. Who cares that they read a story that includes a transgender person in it. There are a person who deserves dignity and respect.

They exist, tough shit. What should we teach kids? To bully and beat transgender people?

. We need to shun these freaks. Gay may be valid, but transgender is a choice. And it's a choice that should never be made. If you have a dick, you're a dude. Chopping it off doesn't change your genes.

4 and 5 year old children also aren't ready for religion, doesn't stop parents from teaching that shit to their kids as a truth.

I remember fondly the bible stories of Jesus and the Prophets. Who can't get inspired by Daniel in the lion's den? If you missed going to Sunday School before morning worship, I feel sorry for you.

I'm not a lunatic who wants to brainwash children.

The stories of our Lord Jesus is not brainwashing. Marxism is.

Ah yes because what would the land of the free be if not for shunning, bullying and beating people for being free to be what they want to be? Libbie Commie pinko utopia IYAM.

Somehow it goes beyond "free to be me" when school girls are forced to share the school restroom with a creepy boy wearing a dress.

How are they being creepy by going to the bathroom? They are just trying to take a piss. The feelings she has is all in their head. No transgender person is going into the bathroom trying to get a peek, they are trying to GO TO THE BATHROOM.

If you were a girl in school and a creepy boy wearing a dress came into the restroom with you, you might feel different. No boy being made to use the boys room is being harmed, so there's no reason not to insist they do.

You don't think a boy wearing a dress isn't going to be harrassed when he uses the boy's room?
